Circe Chimer didn't choose the life of a Shadower, it chose him. Having been caught killing a bunch of thirteen year old goons, Circe is thrown into an ultimatum: enroll in a school where he'll be able to control his abilities or get thrown in prison for life. Without much of an option, Circe is enrolled into Avalium University, a secret occultic university renowned for training monsters and shaping some of the best Shadowers. Having not been there long, Circe is already unpopular and he finds himself being a complete outcast at the university. It's not until an evil force from the past comes back to wreak havoc on the city that Circe has the chance to prove himself. But can he actually reclaim his name or will he end up dying in the process? After all, not all monsters were destined to be heroes.
